I comforted a stranger outside a hospital who's baby had been moved to a different hospital and she was worried.
Bless you - it’s an extremely noble thing you’re doing and you’ll never really know how much even the smallest and most insignificant gestures can mean in a setting like that.Hospice nurse, so yes, regularly.
That is a truly wonderful thing. Loneliness is a terrible feeling and it's nice to know there are people out there who will help someone like this.I don’t know whether it is U.K. wide, but in Wales we have a scheme for lonely people. Villages have benches with a sign, which says something like, ‘please sit here if you would like some one to chat to’. Then if someone passes, they can choose to sit with you and strike up a conversation.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-wales-50098114
